Do you think that there was ever a time when height didn't matter? I mean things seem to be more about height/weight then they ever were in history. What do you think?

I think just maybe 100 years ago it wasn't that big of a deal. I mean the boom of "hollywood" is part of the reason height is such a big deal. Look at modeling, actors, fasion, ect..

I agree with shark that just 100 years ago it didn't matter as much. I mean people didn't have others to compare themselves to at the click of a mouse either.

I think it still mattered 100 years ago but for different reasons then it does now. Now a days it is all about looks and fasion. Back then it was likely for jobs, work, and so on.

Not a big deal sure but it still mattered. I think it has mattered for the last 300+ years.

Of all the things they could discuss regarding advertising, they had to take aim at short men.

Never fails. I'd rather stick with Chat GPT if this is their company vision for marketing.
